‘‘Dairy is really disappointed, we were hoping for some better outcomes because there is a fair bit of export to Japan,” she said.

Mr Hutchinson said there would be a fall in the frozen beef tariff from 38.5 per cent to 19.5 per cent over 18 years.

Fresh beef tariffs would fall from 38.5 per cent to 23.5 per cent over 15 years.

‘‘The Japanese market is the most protected market in the world, so these tariff reductions will lead to an increase in the $1.4 billion trade with Japan and there are a number of Tasmanian companies which could benefit,’’ he said.

He said Tasmania would benefit from the increase in natural cheese quota from 4000 tonnes to 20,000 tonnes, in shredding cheese from 1000 to 5000 tonnes and the elimination of the 8.5 per cent tariff on milk concentrates.

Exporters of seafood would benefit from the immediate elimination of a 9.6 per cent tariff.

Mr Hutchinson said horticultural products including vegetables, fruit and nuts would benefit from an elimination of tariffs of up to 17.5 per cent.
